4.LyricsWaiting to blow

So this is where it all beginstrue love about to burn your skinbanging heads against the wallsomething dangerous

Because you don’t know where to hidebreak down crying on the insidebecause you don’t know where to turnyour very first time naked

And I’m guessing that it hit you hard when I told you that I was the oneshopping gifts for your mom while your dad went fishingthese pictures drifting through your mind leaving you all dazed and confusedleaves you stuck with the kings of wishful thinkingyou’re good and ready to blow

Guess it’s better to be safe than sadbetter not to care than going madbest to sit and wait for them to comethose little cloud nine people

Where you’re dreaming of the man machinehappiness when you were seventeeneternal sunshine in a spotless mindwhile striking match and needle

Things are getting kind of hot in here there’s a green light coming your waywhen you dance like it’s time for a revolutionyou were caught inside a storm when clock stopped ticking your melodylying down and watching televisionyou’re good and ready to blow

Turn it up a bitplay that organ louder, kidpull it back and forth in time for me to have a hitwhen it’s down to thiswhen i’m putting on the ritzthere is meaning to the madness and my throwing fits

6.LyricsAsteroids

The sound of laughter televisedinto your eyes and out of your earsthe show that won’t begin until the music’s deadand everyone’s gone homesoda pops and candybars lying on the floor singing for tomorrow

We come as one with helmets onand nevermind what’s up or downa shaky place to stay when you canpositively say that you’ve been hadspinning on your grammophoneand coming in your windowvelvet lights

I can feel it coming through my microphonemy favorite moonlit beach recordingsI see it better now the rain has gonesometimes those Wu Tang kids are boring

Favorite drug of the year 2005on the tip of my tongue more dead than aliveshot my blood cocainefelt it wash my brain like I was guacamoleI could do it with you, push go to give inno matter what i’d choose i’d be singing to winI have no control but I shine like gold whenever on the dancefloor

Rabbits, high heels and horses, leatherstockings, I surrender completelyon the tube I see them screaming television made me kind of crazyand all I want to know iswhat does it mean to you that we’re building the bombwhere does it come fromwhat is the outcomemaybe we should be dancing

When I do it somehow you seem to give upborderline when I bow and go turn it upbrought the wheels of steelwith a tender feel to the reason I deliverthere is nothing besides everything that i’ve gotrunning time after time, the buzz on my blockI don’t want it there when I breathe the air while crying like a breastfed

Little did I know you went and blew it all on house and wife and babieswhatever you choose to do you never fail to constantly amaze meand all I want to know iswhat does it mean to you that we’re building the bombwhere does it come fromwhat is the outcomemaybe we should be dancing

12.LyricsBubblegum and chocolate

Time to learn the alphabet, beginning all over againfrom top to bottom all memorizedpoint your fingers in the air and tell me only if you darethe words I want hear come alive

Stand upon my shouldersrepeat after meone year from now it’s my birthdaythe moon is a wooden ballI don’t believe mathematics at all

Bend and twist the facts around, your wristwatch counterclockwisesitting down for supper feeling good about the mealthis is what it’s like to feel confused and bending backwardswhile running from the police

Like bubblegum and chocolatethe need after morewe’ve got the drug that you’re afterthe book of your favorite schoolstruck by the sound of your laughterand the things that you do

13.LyricsMary Jane

When the clocks turn ten I will let you in my room once moregoes to show that I’m not all done with your helpwhen I’m on your case while breathing down your neck real slowguess I’ve got another story to tell

So I speak it till we both grow old and tireddo the math it takes to leave you therewhile thinking nobody does it betterI love you mary jane

It’s a win or lose type of witty blues I did with youor a subtle beat that just won’t give inand I know it’s not that easy to explain to youbut I truly don’t know where to begin

Very thankful for the time we spent in solitudehour after hour dry from the rainthough it’s hard for me to keep my promises to youI will try over and over again

So I speak it till we both grow old and tiredpush it forward till the nearly insanewhile thinking nobody does it betterI love you Mary Jane
